HINTS: "The best way to decide what type of article to submit is to look over a sample copy of the magazine, available at newsstands, tack stores or bookstores nationwide. You may obtain one by sending in a check for $5 to Sample Issues, Horse Illustrated, at the address above. Look over several issues, if possible, or scan our annual index, posted on our web site. This lists the types of articles we have used in the last year. Horse Illustrated receives dozens of unsolicited manuscripts and queries every week. The magazine accepts only a small fraction of what is submitted. Due to the high volume of unsolicited work, we cannot review or respond to any material sent to us by fax, or material that isn't accompanied by a SASE."
